Before writing the renderer, I thought it might be a good chance to
clean up the current build system and introduce x64 support. So far,
only the external libs work (UnitTest++ and TinyXML). I hope to get a
chance today to update the five niven libraries and two executables
today. As soon as Boost 1.34 gets out (which is supposed to be supported
on x64) I'll probably switch one of my dev platforms completely over to
x64.

Just seen that today, take a look at this blogpost about
StudiVZ and then think
twice about keeping your account there. A
counter-statement is also
available, so everyone can make up his own mind. I don't think it is a
good explanation, I just link it for fairness reasons.

As suggested by Philipp some time
ago, I've
written today a small todo planer (called VPlan for "verplant").
Really helps me schedule my time more efficiently. I wrote it in C# in
roughly three hours (bear in mind that this is my 2nd C# program),
which is faster than I expected. As soon as it matures a bit I'm going
to release it here on my blog.

Today, Java has been released under the GPL
2. Most of it is
written in Java (including the compiler and the VM), and it looks quite
interesting. Some bad news, too: I've stopped some side projects,
including a redesign of the Shelter13.net page
and some other unrelated stuff. I've got simply no time to spend on
them, my studies and work take too much time currently and I don't want
to risk them because of less important projects.
